He said most, not all. If my parents had been more regimented about me eating every meal I probably would have had weight issues earlier on.

To spin it positively, being exception to the general trend makes you exceptional!

If it isn’t accurate to the source material, it isn’t concise.

LLMs are good at reducing word count.

I don’t actively discriminate based on a poster’s instance, but there are a half dozen or so instances where there is a very high likelihood that they lean one way or another on different topics. If a post that could be read two ways then their instance can be a pretty reliable indicator that looking at their posting history will confirm which way they lean.

In a couple of cases I just blocked the communities that are the hot button issues for that instance because other communities are worth reading and interacting with.

Plus it is as accurate as using an automated translator to change it to another language and back again!

You aren’t changing everything about you, just the parts that need changing. Like remodeling the interior of a house, it may look completely different when you are in the process and when you are done but the structural parts of you are still there, holding up and protecting the new you.

Odds are you didn’t chsmge every room or the general layout either, just made some adjustments so you are more functional.

Excessive amounts of food. I have to eat, but cutting back to the amount I should be eating for my age and physical activity is so tough.

The cause is binge eating in my youth when I was extremely active but didn’t eat three meals a day due to adhd absentmindedness. Frequently I would only have one or two meals a day, but eat two or more meals worth of calories at a time and burn it off in short order.

Now with family and a desk job with a scheduled lunchtime it is basically impossible to eat when I’m hungry instead of when it is ‘time to eat’ and portion control is a struggle. Quitting smoking required buying a house and quitting together with the wife, at least that had a cutoff date that I could say “I haven’t smoked since moving in”. Eating less is something I need to do every day!

What a shit take.

Don’t forget the 24/7 propaganda networks telling them they should be angry at immigrants and people who are different from them and that only these specific oligarchs are the ones who can save them from the libs.

Wrftf is rehabilitation?

I wanna punish and increase recidivism!

When I say something is “wrong” I mean something that is not like the average individual of that species…

Being different is not the same as being wrong. That view is the foundation of racism and bigotry.

I’ve never said anything negative about gays or trans people.

You called them ‘wrong’ in this thread, so yes you have. That is an extremely negative thing to say.

I guess I should call it a mental differentiator instead of a mental disorder.

Or you could just stop trying to come up with a label that tries to separate them from the general populace. Maybe you should stop talking about them at all and spend time observing how they see themselves and how society treats them negatively by focusing on how they are different as if being different was inherently a bad thing.

Being gay to the point of not having any interest in the other sex is clearly a mental disorder too…

So there’s this thing called nature where tons of species have members that have same sex partners because it is actually a completely normal thing. Humans happen to be one of them. Not every single member of a species puts reproduction as the highest possible priority as long as enough do to maintain the population.

In fact, the vast majority of things we consider to be mental disorders are only categorized that way because they cause disruption to people’s lives without an outside influence, and being gay is only disruptive due to outside pressures by bigots and small minded people who consider it ‘wrong’.

The audience has its own self selection bias, as it is people interested in seeing the movie. That is the best group to rate whether the target audience is satisfied with the end result.

I only look at audience for horror and comedy.

For critics, yeah I think it is 16%er but that is because critics are looking for different things in movies than the audience who wanted to see the movie.

There are a ton of comedies where the critic ratings are low but the audience is high.

Grandma’s Boy 15 critic 85 audience was the one that is at the top of my head. Hot damn that is a spread, and I am with the audience.

I still think League of Extraordinary Gentlemen got unfairly dragged. 16% on Rotten Tomatoes.

It is a pretty mediocre movie overall, but it is just a lot of fun and I have watched it a dozen times.

You are thinking of unhealthy. Between healthy and unhealthy are neutral things that our body simply processes and expels as long as we don’t get oo much. The whole point of discouraging any consumption of alcoholic drinks is to counter the myths that alcohol provides health benefits.

A small amount of alcohol on occasion doesn’t cause harm to the body. It is processed and expelled. That is why fermented foods, which contain trace amounts of alcohol, are not unhealthy.

Most spices aren’t healthy in the way that the majority of people use the word for food. They don’t provide nutrients our bodies need. Pepper doesn’t improve our health, but it doesn’t harm us either in reasonable quantities. It is something our body simply expels, just like small amounts of many other things that our body processes and expels.

The point is that the level of alcohol that is not harmful is really low compared to what people think.

Not being healthy for you isn’t the same as always being a detriment. There is a non-zero amount of alcohol that can be ingested without causing harm. Sometimes having a small amount of something that isn’t great for you, but makes you feel good is fine. A few sugary snacks occasionally is never healthy, but it also isn’t always harmful. Same with alcohol, having a small glass of wine to celebrate something a couple times a year doesn’t provide nutritional health benefits, but it also isn’t going to cause harm.

Na, fuck sugar, it’s as deadly as rat poison, a little won’t kill you but no amount is good for you and the only reason you are defending it is because you think it has some good traits and it doesn’t. Maybe it’s a good thing it’s hard to defend since it is literally poison. Try Pot or Lsd both are less harmful than Sugar and are more fun

Fixed that for you.
